I can't imagine wanting a cloned test site to handle bounces, ever. For a live site, I struggle to imagine good reasons to turn off email temporarily; best I can come up with is if you have an issue with the mail config and need to update it, you might shut off outgoing emails for a while...

Fair question. I am not actually certain that it should be considered a bug in XF, as such. (It's perhaps more of a bug in this "duplicate your site for testing" guide, if anything :)) It really depends on what one wants/expects to achieve by disabling outgoing emails. On anything other than a...

I may be mixed up, but I thought that 2.3 was going to remove the Cumulative Layout Shift issues that arise from embedded content loading late in the rendering process (including proxied images, media, etc.) but this page is now doing just that. I fear that it's because of the Twitter media...

Finally got around to putting it to the test... In short: the email bounce handler does run even when email is disabled. See pic below... (At first, I manually triggered the job, and then realised that for completeness I should let it run by itself. Both runs fetched a bounce.) I'd rate the...

Ahh, OK yes this would be a drawback of the server-based cron I guess - if you forget to set up a new cron job (or swapping back to activity-based) when cloning the site then the cron jobs never happen at all... (A good reminder, given that I'm considering swapping to server-based on our site.)...

Well, I just re-read the code for the things that happen when $config['enableMail'] = false and I'm unable to see anything that would stop the bounce handler cron job from doing its thing. (I also rechecked XF/EmailBounce/Processor.php and see nothing there either.)

I read below, but am still not clear on the reasons for bumping the minimum version again... What did I miss?

Ahh... Maybe I need to re-read the code then.

A test site has less traffic, thus less likelihood of triggering the cron jobs, thus it's not often going to beat the live site to the bounces. However it could still happen, unless the code actually prevents it; my hasty skim of the code suggests that the bounce handler doesn't check if email...

Ah, that's not what I mean. I already disabled outgoing emails, but (caveat: memory fuzzy, some weeks elapsed now) on one of my test sites, I got an error that suggested the bounce handler had tried to fetch emails from the bounce address. This would interfere with the bounced email system by...

@Paul B - I'm building another test site and wondering if there's a way to edit the config.php to prevent the bounce handler from running? (E.g. in case it runs while you're loading the ACP to disable it...) For the time being, I'm just going to edit the DB...

Not certain this is a bug, per se. It may indicate that the search system is a little bit borked, or it may just be working as expected... Normally, when I try to look at posts by a member, I'm used to it delivering 10 pages at a time of posting history until it runs out. Typical process: if...

Did you ever dig through the code to seek an answer to this?

Our site has lots of downloads, of lots of resource versions, by lots of users... As a result xf_rm_resource_download (plus its index) is many GB in size and still growing. Are there any mitigations for this? My understanding is that I can't just prune the table, because of how other things fit...

One reason why this surprised me was that I recently checked how resource downloads are tracked, and they are done on a per-user basis... So 100 downloads by one user only adds 1 to the download counter. (This creates issues for the size of the darn table that tracks this, of course.)
